Roma take on the visitors CSKA Moscow at the Stadio Olimpico in the Round 3 of the UEFA Champions League Group G. The match will be played in the eponymous city Rome on Tuesday, October 23rd.
In their last fixture in the Serie A TIM Rome looked pretty bad against SPAL in front of their home crowd. They lost to Gli Spallini with a 0-2 score shockingly. It was clear though that I Giallorossi were trying to save their energy for the Round 3 fixture of the UEFA Champions League Group G against CSKA Moscow. If the team of Eusebio Di Francesco beats the Russians on Tuesday they will become the favourites in their group to go through to the play-offs of the tournament. Overall, the situation in the Group G is very complicated now. This is because the main favourite of the group Real Madrid got into crisis period and started to show weak performances both in the UEFA Champions League and in their local Primera Division. Even if CSKA Moscow try hard to give a fight to La Lupa in the upcoming match the hosting side will crush them anyway. Despite of their recent failures La Magica looked pretty solid in their previous fixtures that were important for them. For example, they have won the Rome derby pretty confidently recently over the tough Lazio with a 3-1 score. Also, the Italians crushed Viktoria Plzen from Czech Republic with a 5-0 score in front of their home crowd in the Round 2 of the Group H. They showed the real strength of their offensive line in that game. In their last three matches overall Roma lost to SPAL with a 0-2 score, beat Empoli with a 2-0 score and Viktoria Plzen with a 5-0 score in their UEFA Champions League Group G fixture.

In the Round 2 of the UEFA Champions League Group G CSKA Moscow looked solid against the weakened Real Madrid in front of their home crowd. Quite frankly, they were pretty lucky in that game because Los Blancos had a lot of goal attempts and hit the post multiple times. In the Round 1 of the tournament though the Koni drew against the humble Viktoria Plzen with a 2-2 score on the away field losing with a 0-2 score to their opponents by the start of the second half. In their last three matches overall CSKA Moscow beat Anzi Makhackala with a 2-0 score, lost to Tyumen in a penalty shootout in the 1/16-finals fixture of the Russian Cup and beat Real Madrid with a 1-0 score in their UEFA Champions League Group G fixture.
Roma are likely to score at least two goals in their upcoming Round 3 fixture against CSKA Moscow in front of their home crowd. I Giallorossi need to rehabilitate before their fans desperately after their disgusting loss to SPAL with a 0-2 score in the Serie A TIM last weekend.
Prediction for the match: Roma to score over 1.5 goals.
